Section 2: Accreditation
Who is your institution's primary accrediting agency? [Please check only one.]
To begin, enter the total amount of Title III or V funds used during this reporting period to
support your project. On the second line, please enter the total amount of Title III or V
funds used during this reporting period to support the project management and evaluation
of the entire project. The fourth line will be automatically generated to reflect the total costs
dedicated to supporting grant activities. These fields must be filled in and greater than
0 before proceeding.
Enter total federal dollars spent on your Title III or Title V grant during the
reporting period:
Enter total federal dollars spent on your Title III or Title V project
management and evaluation during the reporting period:
Enter the total number of Activities carried out during the reporting period
(as described in your grant proposal)
Total federal dollars spent on your Title III or Title V activities during the $00,000.00
reporting period:
You will have the opportunity to enter or edit additional grant application activities as
necessary throughout this section.
• Activity 1
Annual Performance Report
• Activity 2
• Activity 3
Line 1: Enter the title of the grant activity(ies) as related in your application and carried
out during this reporting period. Please note that for the purposes of the annual
report, endowment should be considered a separate activity even if it was not
presented as a separate activity in your application. You will have the opportunity to
enter additional grant application activities as necessary
Line 2: Enter the total amount of Title III or V funds used during this reporting period to
support each grant activity. This total amount should include any costs associated with the
management of the activity such as the appropriate percentage of key personnel salaries
and benefits devoted to that activity.
Line 3: Select one of four focus areas Fiscal Stability, Institutional Management, Student
Services and Outcomes, and Academic Quality for each activity. Refer to the definitions of
the four focus areas for samples of activities that fall into each category. [The answer to
this question will determine which Focus Area Outcomes table(s) that is filled out.]
Please keep in mind that these categories are meant to apply to the activity's overall
outcome not the processes used to achieve that outcome. For example, you might have an
activity to improve retention of science majors that is being carried out over the entire
length of your grant. The ultimate outcome of this activity is a Student outcome and
therefore would be categorized as "Student Services and Outcomes" even though you might
have implemented various strategies or processes to achieve that goal during the reporting
period, such as improved library collections, acquisition of teaching/lab equipment, and
faculty development. You will have an opportunity to report on those processes later on in
the process measure table.
Legislative Allowable Activities Table: In this table, we want to develop a profile of how
program funds are distributed within the various Legislative Allowable Activities (LAA)
categories. Please determine how much of the total funds used for the grant activity (Line
2) is distributed within the LAA categories and enter the dollar amount. Please note that
9
you may have an activity that does not fall into one of the LAA categories - this is
acceptable as long as that activity fulfills the goals of the legislation. In these cases you will
be asked to provide a brief description of those activities in the "other" option. NOTE: The
dollar amount entered in Line 2 for each grant activity should equal the sum of the dollar
amounts distributed in the LAA categories.
